The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 173: Task

"The Modern Age of the Mysterious (

In the setting sun, Sean and the others silently watched the empty bow deck.

There is an indescribable, gratifying, relaxed feeling in my heart.

The curse that haunted the Atlantic Ocean was lifted, and the souls of the innocent were redeemed.

Sean looked at each other a few times and sighed in relief.

"That's why I'm fascinated by mysteries, and I'm obsessed with the way of the explorer." The setting sun was reflected on the moonlight's face, and the sensual pianist's eyes seemed to have light flashing, "It seems that I have gained a kind of power, a kind of power that can heal the world. the power of."

Sean looked at his partner with a little surprise: I always thought that Moonlight was just curious...

It turned out that this was what Moonlight really thought.

Evan couldn't help but nodded slightly - the real journey had not yet begun, and he already felt that it was a wise move to join this journey.

Olivia, who was not very emotional, was also holding the railing at this time, staring at the place where Vivian disappeared for a long time, and fell into some kind of thinking: "It turns out that sometimes leaving is also a kind of happiness."

The three of them looked at the girl whose eyes became even more rosy due to the reflection of the setting sun.

"Olivia, is something bothering you?"

With a slight smile on the corner of Feng Chi's mouth, she shook her head gently: "No - now I, as long as I can protect the reader well, I am satisfied.

"The question of life and death, let's wait until the time of life and death.

"It's just, I think, maybe all of humanity should re-examine the definition of 'going'."

Re-understanding "leave"?

The three of them all looked forward, each of them having something to gain.

"Several esteemed gentlemen and ladies..." Solomon cleared his throat behind them.

Sean and the others turned their heads, and they saw—

Solomon and the crew members, as well as many passengers, were crowded behind them at the moment.

The men all took off their hats and held them in their hands.

The eyes illuminated by the setting sun are flickering slightly.

Detective Solomon said solemnly: "We just saw it too - the curse involving the necklace has been lifted, and the soul of that poor girl has been fortunate enough to return to the arms of God...

"It's all thanks to you guys.

"If it weren't for you, our entire ship would have suffered a terrible fate...

"Mr Dirac, Mister Burns, Mister 1902, and this, elegant lady.

"Please accept our sincere thanks..."

In the setting sun, people close their eyes from the heart and bow deeply...

——

into the night.

Due to the influence of Naia Shenyu's power, people no longer obsessed with spying on the privacy of the heroes who saved a boatload of people, and began to busy themselves with their own affairs.

Laughter and relief have returned to people's faces, as if nothing creepy and horrific had ever happened on this big ship.

The string of broken necklaces with pale green residues was properly received by Sean into the invisible stomach bag.

By the way, he poured some spiritual power into his stomach bag, feeding this magical thing bound to him.

All it takes is a little spiritual power to make it feel full.

The docile invisible stomach shivered comfortably for a while, and then continued to return to silence...

Back near his cabin, Sean met Mrs. Sarah's family.

"I heard you guys solved a very scary incident...

"My wife has diarrhea these days because she ate raw oysters, so we haven't been out too much...

"I didn't know such a big thing happened on the ship..."

Hearing Sarah's enthusiastic voice, Sean and the others seemed to have returned to the leisurely state of the journey.

Before, Sean's mind once flashed the picture of the bronze giant sinking into the ocean, and Sarah, Nash and Anna falling into the water...

At this moment, it can be said to have escaped from death...

Looking at Sarah's family who is safe and sound.

Sean had a smile on his face: "Thank you for caring, Sarah."

After returning to their respective cabins to rest, Moonlight suddenly realized that in the evening a day later, the Bronze Giant was about to arrive at Avalon Island.

They are about to arrive in Ocean City.

Before, the emerald necklace matter took up too much of his mind. In order to ensure that after arriving in Ocean City, he could keep up with the thoughts of Sean and Ivan, Moonlight lying on the bed, began to recall the secret mission that Sean told in his cabin on the first night of boarding the ship. ...

At that time, Sean was sitting in a chair and said quietly in the sound of the surging waves:

"There are several purposes for this trip to Ocean City, let me explain one by one...

"The main mission issued by the association is to investigate and find a King-level explorer who was missing in Ocean City."

"King-level explorer? Missing in Ocean City?" Moonlight was a little surprised.

The King class is a strong man who can stand on his own no matter where he goes. If one disappears, it means that the incident behind it may be quite terrifying.

Sean nodded: "I think you've all heard of the missing King. His name is Charlie Jojo."

Both Moonlight and Evan showed expressions of surprise to varying degrees: Charlie Jojo disappeared? !

That talented mime, pioneer of the movie age, Hollywood star...

Not only is he a King-level explorer, but he's also missing in Ocean City? !

With an expression of "I understand your shock" on Sean's face, he said softly, "When I heard Arthur Merlin say this, I felt the same as you..."

"Wait..." Moonlight raised a hand, he seemed to have too many questions to ask. He started with the most obvious question: "Jojo is missing, why hasn't it been reported in the newspapers?"

Sean shrugged: "I think his company is using some sort of whitewash, like stand-ins or fake news or something.

"After all, it is not certain that Qiao Qiao is dead, and they still hope to find him. If Qiao Qiao can come back safely, it will not affect their company's stock price, so they decided to cover up the truth temporarily.

"Well, that's really not the point." Evan frowned and said~lightnovelpub.net~ I'm a little strange, the disappearance of a King-level explorer is no trivial matter, and the situation involved may be very serious... How can we let a few of us Jack-level Go deal with it, is there no one in the association? "

Sean whispered: "You may not be very aware of Ocean City's immigration approval system.

"King-level and above explorers have to go through layers of approval before they can be allowed to enter Ocean City, which is too long.

"Charlie Jojo is the best-kept secret explorer. He went there as a movie star, and he bypassed the long-running approval process.

"Also, although Ocean City has a branch of the Quest Association, quests above the Jack level will be closely monitored, and there is no condition for conducting an investigation...

"In addition, Arthur Merlin should have taken a fancy to the strength of our team that does not match the level."

Even against the exhausted Kennedy and his henchmen, teammate Sean Squad, it was a completely unequal battle. In the end, although Kennedy was not killed, it also expelled the Naia Godhead he summoned, and the results were quite impressive. .

Arthur Merlin knew that although the Sean team was an average Jack-level, it could do things above the Jack-level!

"So, as low-level explorers with opaque identities and super-standard strength, we are the perfect candidates for this mission."

In addition, I am afraid that not a few Jack-level will take the initiative to take this quest - I took this quest mainly because I wanted to save Aaliyah and the association's proposal to make up for it.

However, Sean has confidence in the strength of himself and the team.

With the power of "The Ancient Scroll of Homecoming", if the three of them go all out, they will be equivalent to a King.
